CASE STUDY

EDINBURGH YARN FESTIVAL

Situation

Edinburgh Yarn Festival had outgrown their favourite events venue.

Task

Purvis Marquees were asked to design a marquee located in the car park of the Edinburgh Corn Exchange that would provide a capacity of 500 guests linked to the venue’s buildings.

Action

Design and deliver a leveled 20-meter x 25-meter marquee with open balcony with a clear roof. A large catering facility, delivery ramp, blackout interiors, 114m walkway and other surrounding structures.

Result

A once in a lifetime Scottish textile experience for their guests that they would never forget.

Edinburgh Yarn Festival, the UK’s premier urban hand-knitting show. Along with providing a unique event for the lovers of all things textile, the festival provides a marketplace, classes and fringe events for their growing number of dedicated followers. As well as supporting businesses with a platform to meet like minded people, it attracts new people into the world of hand-knitting and much more. A sell out event every year!

They are a family run business with family values at their core – owning and managing a unique and dedicated award winning events venue in Scotland’s capital city. Outstanding customer service, many, many years of experience, and renowned flexibility are just some of the reasons that we stand out from the crowd. We can vouch for that from working closely with the whole team.

READ THE FULL STORY...

Edinburgh Yarn Festival has outgrown its favourite events venue, the Edinburgh Corn Exchange. They desperately did not want to have to look for a new venue with more capacity, so they started talking to Purvis Marquees about the option to expand into the car park of the site.

Edinburgh Corn Exchange supported their client through every step of the process, and an extensive layout was agreed for this popular festival.

The main marquee was based on a 20m x 40m marquee erected on a concrete surface, so water ballast tanks were used to weigh the marquee down. The internal finishes included flat ivory linings, black chandeliers, a click flooring system, unique carpet colours, glass entrances and fire escapes, full production and stage lighting, festoon lighting down the marquee roof, large dance area, complete heating system and a pagoda style entrance canopy connecting the main marquee to the existing venue buildings.

Purvis Marquees managed all of the sub-contractors and suppliers to provide a significant venue extension, working closely with the venue and the council, ensuring that there was minimal disruption to other parts of the venue and a safe build of the event in a compact area.

Everyone attending the festival loved the additional space and the feel of the whole venue, and it allowed the Edinburgh Yarn Festival to provide their guests with extra space and experiences which helped increase the success of a much-loved annual event.
